I am a Portuguese architect, researcher, and writer - with a career markedly multifaceted and international. 

My works and writings have been published and presented in lectures and exhibitions. I've been a guest critic, lecturer, invited teacher, and juror at different architecture schools such as Berlin International University of Applied Sciences, University of Kingston, and Shandong Jianzhu University. I am also taking part as a jury member for renowned international Architecture and Design Awards, such as Architizer’s A+Awards, UNI, and A'Design Award and Competition.

Currently, I divide my professional activity between practice in the architecture studio Ressano Garcia Arquitectos in Lisbon and the Ph.D. in the field of Digital Architecture at ISCTE. 

At the same time, I’m a curator and research manager for the online platform Non Architecture, a team member of the independent, online platform for architectural education DigitalFUTURES, and a writer for different international architecture and design magazines such as CLOT Magazine, Architecture Hunter and others.

Since 2018 I'm an assistant producer at the Arquiteturas Film Festival.
